ok, seeing as theres no Isdn forum here :)

anyway

i got myself a Dlink Isdn Router (DI 304).

Dialing 64k single channel it works fine, however when i set it to dial 128k (both channels) The router dials up and connects to the ISP, however the pc's cannot visit any websites or go online as such.

Dlink have swopped out the unit as well as checked firmware upgrades but still problem persists.

Any idea? Perhaps a problem on the IPS side? telkom side? though my ISP says it aint, mentioned something about NAT fault?

I can dial 128k perfectly fine through my USB isdn modem - so technically it aint the isp fault is it?

appreciate any help ya'll might have

No, I think someone will be able to help, I don't have an answer, but just bcos ISDN isn't broadband it doesn't mean that no one will know the answer :).
 
Good day!

I moved this thread to Off-Topic but with link from original location.

:)
 
ic, ISDN 128 is faster than MW128 and uploads faster than the new ADSL 192/64 package. Surely this qualifies it as a "broadband" service in SA then ;)
 
You will need to give more info for a start.

Computers, network how it all was fitted together and how you manage to share the USB modem. Did you share the USB modem?

The more info the better.

Cheers

JT, I will take your word for which is faster (somewhat depends on which ISP you use for your ISDN128Kbps, yes?), anyways my personal opinion is that anything below 512Kbps (actual download speed) should not be considered "broadband" from a consumer POV, again my opinion, not de facto unless reflected by a Consumer Broadband Definition.
 
yip, I agree on the 512kbps amount. But we're a long way off from that atm
 
Well it just goes to show that in the abscence of a Consumer Broadband Definition Telkomonopoly will actually go and claim that half their existing slowest 384Kbps ""broadband"" service (i.e. 192Kbps) is also a ""broadband"" service. So, if we want Telkomonopoly to keep up with the international Jones' telecomms companys, we have to define a minimum cutoff speed for Consumer Broadband, and that cutoff should be automatically adjusted annually based on what is available internationally - otherwise there is no way we will have an IT sector in the 22nd century.
 
Just think that some lucky people are surfing the net from home on their 100Mbit connections..and we're stuck with 100-500kbps
 
100Mb connections are a luxury at the moment. I don't think the majority of netizens have access to that yet. Lucky is thus the correct term. I would like to see 1 Mb for a start in SA soon...

Antowan,

Using the USB modem i use Xp's internet sharing which works to an extent, but actually after a router so that i dont have to leave a pc on for a whole weekend or long time.

The router's setup to factory defaults, ie Dhcp gives out the IP addy's

We bought an ISDN router to share our internet with 3 computers at home and to allow us to switch off our pc's if we weren`t online while still maintaining the connection. After a week and hundred's of rand wasted on short calls, we returned the router in disgust. They are designed for overseas markets and are not suited to our dialup costs. Why not return the router, get a refund and try another brand?
